MAJOR WARD - JACKSON AND RECONSTRUCTION The new electorate for North Herefordshire will be invited to choose between two candidates , Major C. L. Ward - Jackson , who , is standing as the official Coalition candidate , and Mr. E. W Agricultural candidate by the National Farmers Union . Mr. Langford has not yet commenced his campaign as his formal Major Ward- Jackson , on the other hand , is in the middle of an extensive tour of the constituency , and has addressed a number of meetings . To the Chairman of the North Herefordshire Langford , who will be nominated as Coalition Constitutional Association . Dear Mr. Bailey , -The Parliament , to which the Electors of North Herefordshire did me the honour of returning me as their repre- sentative in 1912 , on the retirement of Sir James Rankin , is about to be dissolved , and with the dissolution my connection with the Division is by my voluntary action in the spring of 1914 to be severed . To say that I do not regret that this will be so would be very far from the truth , but I recognise that as one makes one's bed so must one lie in it . I should have been glad as the representative of the Leominster Division to have pursued the work of upholding and en- couraging Home Food Production ; of establishing adequate - more , generous - pro- vision for our Sailors and Soldiers and their dependants ; of furthering improved Educa- tion and Housing ; and of helping to bind closer together the various Dominions of our Great and Free Empire . Through my own action I cannot now ask the electors to give me a renewed opportunity to do these things from the place I have hitherto occupied . I , therefore , take up my pen to address a message of farewell through you to those of whatever political creed they may be , who have been my constituents and who during more than five years have refrained from any public criticism of the many shortcomings , of which I am conscious , in my efforts to uphold the dignity of the position to which they had returned me . In doing so , I desire to express my sense of the patriotic endeavour , which has been dis- played by the constituency throughout the war , now - thank God - to be ended by a just and lasting peace ; by those who have re- sponded to the call of military duty ; by those who have spared no time or toil to produce the food or munitions necessary for the suc- cessful prosecution of our great eause ; and above all , by those who have cheerfully and dutifully sent their loved ones to fight their country's battles for Freedom and Justice . To all , whose rejoicing is clouded in this hour of victory by the loss of father , husband , son or brother , I respectfully offer my deep and heartfelt sympathy . I desire also to express my gratitude to you , sir , and to the members of the Constitutional Association , and to all my constituents , for their considerate support , and for the oppor- tunities of useful work , public and private , they have consistently afforded me .. For the future , Mr. Chairman , I send you my best wishes , and hopes that my successor may with greater knowledge and success than were available to me take his share in the development and carrying through of that policy which I am convinced is essential to the welfare of the Division , the Nation and the Empire . The fiery furnace has been passed through , the metal has been proved , the moulding is to do . place on Wednesday at Herefordoption only took MEETING AT KINGSLAND . On Wednesday evening Major Ward - Jackson ad Kingsland dressed a meeting at the Schools , Colonel T. W Davidson presided over u good attendance and was supported by Major and Mrs. Ward - Jackson , Mr John Edwards , Mr. J. Price , Mr. Roscoe , Mr. C. Sankey , Mr. J. Brindley , Mr The Chairman in introducing Major Ward - Jackson L. C. Hands ( agent ) , and others . said that if they tried to swop horses in crossing a stream they would probably get wet and dirty and if they tried to change the Coalition Govern ment for a new one they would be making an awful mistake . The Government need not have gone to the country but Mr. Lloyd George wanted to go on with the whole country behind him . He had done what no one else could do . He had got through this beastly war ( applause ) . In introduc ing Major Ward - Jackson he said he had been in France for three years and had received an agri cultural decoration from the French Government , so that in returning him they would be returning an agricultural man as well as the Coalition can didate ( applause ) . THE COALITION CANDIDATE . Major Ward - Jackson , who was heartily received , first expressed his pleasure in tinding himseit among old friends whom they knew in , the happy time when they were Proceeding at Shobdon . the gallant speaker made it clear that he was ne not see how Mr. Langford could describe himself as such . He noticed that Mr. Langford , a Free Trader , now blamed Mr. Lloyd George for putting a tax on food . He could not see how he could take up that attitude if he was one of Mr Lloyd George's followers . He was afraid Mr. Langford had ruled himself out . of count . Не one that was Coalition candidate , and remarked that he could not submitted that no representative could represent George to become the Coalition candidate . their views all round except the selected by the two parties under . Mr. Lloyd WOMEN'S VOTES . Referring to the votes of the ladies , he said that on them rested a large responsibility to ask every candidate , whether for Parliament of local authorities , whether they were in favour of such measures as were necessary for the establishment of a higher standard of hygiene and education than had hitherto obtained with regard to the children . In passing he said that every man telt that he owed a deep debt of gratitude to the women for what they had done in the war . of those men Referring to the soldiers he said that a grateful country could hardly do enough to recompense une men who had fought for them and the dependants make them comfortable and happy ( applause ) . After the Crimean war numbers bravery and tenacity of the British race were let of men who had fought for us with all the without pensions or the means of support , and he said now that it was up to us all to see that the state gave tull recompense to the soldiers who had suffered and bled for us in order to take away all feeling of anxiety as regards the future of their dependants . It would also be a disgrace to this country if the widows of the heroes were not safeguarded and benefitted in the same way CHANGES WROUGHT BY THE WAR . you put in Have firebricks ?

B.T. 18 . the working man who said . that labour is the source of all wealth and that all wealth should belong to the labourer . In disproving this , Major Ward - Jackson illustated the rubber plantations in the east which were founded by British capital with the labour of Chinese coolies who at home earned 35s . a year . From this he argued that in addition to labour , brains and directing power were needed , and if this country was to rise to its former prosperity there must be the oppor- tunity for every man to show his powers and to bring his brains as well as his labour to bear in the industry Before which he was engaged . resuming his seat Major Ward - Jackson said he hoped they had always found him sympathetic He would look after their interests one and all to the best of his ability . He felt he was among friends and could look to Kingsland to support him on December 14th ( applause ) . Major Ward - Jackson was thanked for his speech on the proposition of Mr. J. Price , seconded by Mr. J. Brindley . Major Ward - Jackson in reply paid a similar compliment to the Chairman . Mr. Roscoe seconded , and Colonel Davidson having acknowledged the with vote of thanks , the proceedings terminated the singing of the National Anthem . One of the great changes that had come during the last 4 years had been brought about by the association of the whole nation one with another in our citizen army on the battlefield . He an stanced the case of a man leaving civil life who had risen to the high position of Brigadier - General When a soldier took upon himself the responsi bilities of such a post he attained to a high rank among his fellows , which to - day was not so much social superiority as superiority of character . It was Mr. Lloyd George's object in future to allow men of all classes so to develope their characters as to be able to rise superior to their surround ings ( applause ) . Speaking of the Premier , he said that nobody in the world had done so much to win the war as Mr. Lloyd George ( applause ) .

The charge of stealing four blouses , value £ 5 , from the shop of the Misses Colwell , which was preferred against three munition girls on Wednes- day , was further heard .

About 10 o'clock the three defendants went into the shop together . Witness was at the cash desk in the shop and defendants . went upstairs to the showroom . Witness followed them in a minute or two later . When she got to the showroom Bennett paid LI on a coat . Witness gave her a receipt and the three went out of the shop . Later she missed three blouses from a box in which she had placed six blouses . Information was given to the police and she went to the lodgings of the defendants but did not find the blouses . The sergeant found at ticket bearing the cost and selling price in private figures of a ticket that she wrote out that morn- ing and pinned on one of the missing blouses . The white blouse ( produced ) was found in the bed clothes . Unfortunately she destroyed the ticket which the sergeant found and which had been attached to the white blouse . The blouse produced had never been worn . In reply to the Bench : She saw the white blouse the previous day . She did not see the defendants carry any parcel . P.S.

Mr. H. E. Whitaker and Mr. E. R. Marston sup ported the resolution . Mr. J. Hill in supporting the resolution said Sir Belville Stanier was a pupil at his farm at Felhampton .

He believed in Mr. Lloyd George thoroughly . He was essentially a soldier's man , and of all names the cheers would be heartiest for two - His Majesty the King and Mr. Lloyd George ( applause ) . Mr. Lloyd George wanted to present an unbroken front to the coun tries of the world in order to carry through the great terms of peace which we shall impose , and in order to carry through the preliminaries of the await great reconstruction proposals which our attention . Therefore he asked that the people of the country should be behind him and trust him to carry through these measures as they trusted him to carry through the war . In his gallant endeavours after victory Mr. Lloyd George on several occasions was very nearly defeated in the House of Commons ( " shame " ) , and they could imagine what sort of obstacles would be placed in the of reconstruction . way Therefore Mr. Lloyd George was right in going to the country and asking the people to register their confidence in him ( applause ) . DEPARTURE OF DR . C. A. ROBINSON . APPRECIATION TO BE EXPRESSED BY PRESENTATIONS . The regret which is so widely felt at the news of Dr. C. A. Robinson's departure from the town , and the esteem in which he is held by his friends in Leominster and the neighbourhood , were evi- denced at the Town Hall on Monday afternoon , when meeting was held to consider the question of organising some tangible expression of appre- ciation of his services .

There was no question that Dr. Robinson was a very skilled practitioner and in addition to his skill he was very attentive whether to the poor or the well - to- do . Alderman Farr went on to speak of Dr. Robinson's uniform courtesy to his patients and their friends , and said these were tributes which he was sure those who had to do with him would AND He As to the farmer , he had done his best , and in the war he had taken a part second to none in securing victory . The farmer had gone on in his own way making a good living at times and a very bad living at times . There was no doubt there was a fortune to be made in the land if the land was the one staple industry of the world . The farmer had done his best but had not really taken part in that huge business of agriculture in the way they hoped he would in the future . Referring to the landlords he said they people who had a lot of mud thrown at them , and were the kind on many occasions it had been deserved . Agri- readily accord . As to his sympathy , it had been cultural landlords had in some cases been wealthy unbounded .

To allow such a doctor have to be in future if this country was to keep to leave the neighbourhood where he had shown up its prosperity , The good landlord had looked such consideration and sympathy for the poor and after his people and given them the best houses such skill would not be satisfactory to the feelings that he could but had never looked upon himself of the people . He asked the meeting to support as being with the farmer and labourer a partner the testimonial to the best of their ability for the honour of , the of a huge corporation as he would have to do if town and neighbourhood . The meeting then proceeded to the appointment of a representative committee , with the power to rural add to their number representatives of parishes . To the Editor of the Kington Times . Dear Sir , -The British Red Cross Society and Order of St. John , the Ministry of National Service , and the National Salvage Council , have inaugurated a scheme for the salvage of waste rubber . The War Office require all rubber collected for special special purposes and they will purchase it from the organisers , and the whole of the proceeds will be given to the British Red Cross Society . The he was to remain a landlord . The Government collection in Herefordshire is being organised by would have to arrange that the system of the the Ministry of National Service and the Red Cross Society through the Boy Scouts and other voluntary workers , who will as far as possible , make a house to house collection , and I appeal to the public to support the scheme . I would point out that two good objects will be served by people offering waste rubber . In the first place the scheme will help the national need of rubber which is great , and in the second place the proceeds will be available for the use of the British Red Cross Society . I hope therefore that the response to the appeal of the organisation on the part of the public will be generous . Yours faithfully , British Red Cross Society , Herefordshire Branch , Litley Court , Hereford , November 19th , 1918 . ROBERT LIGHTON . NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE DEAR SIR , CANDIDATES . To the Editor of the Kington Times . ' tenure of land should be so altered as to make it incumbent upon those who had vested interests in land to see that their land was cultivated and de- veloped to the fullest extent . If in places near towns the landlord did not choose to co - operate with the local authorities in letting the land at a reasonable price to those who would use it in the interests of the country , he should be made dispose of it to somebody who would do so . That sounded a very advanced and socialistic policy , but it was not meant to be so It simply meant agriculture had been rather a stick - in - the mud profession for hundreds of years and it would be the object of Mr. Lloyd George and the Coalition Government to lift if to that high level which it should have occupied years ago which it must maintain in the future . that adopted by the Herefordshire Farmers ' Union as their production . I understand that Mr. E. W. Langford , who has been candidate for this division , describes himself as Coalition already an official Coalition Candidate in the field in Agricultural Candidate . I understood that there was the person of Major Ward - Jackson . The fact that Mr. George in the constituency shows that he is not in com- It was decided that in the expenditure of the amount subscribed to give the priority to an illu- minated testimonial with the object of reminding Dr. Robinson of the esteem of his fellow townsment and neighbours and their sense of loss at his de- parture , and it was agreed to make a presentation to Mrs. Robinson . It was proposed by Mr. Ross , seconded by Mr .. Alderman Harding and carried unanimously that Farr be appointed treasurer . Mr. Henry Bays was appointed hon . secretary of the fund . A successful meeting concluded with a hearty expression of thanks to the Chairman for presiding . of the We quote a few sentences from and letters referred to : PAYING FOR THE WAR . Major Ward - Jackson went on to refer to the serious proposition which faces the country in the shape of an enormous debt , and also the huge additional amount of money that would have to be spent in demobilisation and in bringing in necessary reforms in regard to housing and edu- cation . He said it was evident that the rich must be taxed , but that would not be enough . He hoped they might get a splendid indemnity from Germany , but by the time Germany had footed the bills of Belgium and France there would not be much left for us . The only way the country could be kept prosperous was by increasing our This could be achieved if all worked with the same spirit and purpose as the soldiers had carried on the war .

The resolution was carried unanimously amid ap- plause . A vote of thanks to the Mayor for the use of the Council Chamber concluded the business . TIRED OF WAITING FOR DEATH . " I was tired of waiting for death , " said Frederick Henry Roberts ( 35 ) , a taxicab driver , of Liverpool Street , N. , when asked why he had cut his throat . He was suffering from consumption and had been unable to follow his employment . A verdict of " Suicide while of unsound mind " was returned at the inquest . KIMBOLTON .

A case in which a bullet remained embedded in the wall of the heart of a wounded soldier , ap- parently without danger to the patient's comfort or health , is quoted in the annual report of the Medical Research Committee . a Coalition Candidate ? Would it not be better for Mr. Langford to describe himself as out to represent the farmers of the country and to work in their interest . FARMER . FORMER LEOMINSTER M.P. TWO FALLACIES . In conclusion , Major Ward - Jackson dealt with two fallacies , one held by some employers and the other by men . some working The employer Mr. Richard Arkwright , of Herne House , Windsor , who represented Leominster in the House of Com - sometimes said " We cannot have cheap production mons in the Conservative interest from 1886 till without cheap labour .

Then there was the fallacy of some Dr. Cressy : I enclose a small contribution to- wards the testimonial which is being got up for Dr. Robinson as I am anxious to express my ap preciation of his unselfishness and patriotism in voluntarily joining first the colours when war broke out . the The Mayor : He has left the town much poorer and I am disappointed that he should have decided to go when he had the right to appeal . Mr. A. G. Hudson : I fully recognise the loss Leominster will sustain , by the departure of so eminent a man as Dr. Robinson , and I am only : too pleased to join in any testimony to the un selfish and skilful manner in which he has used his great medical knowledge . Major Chambers : I greatly regret Dr. Robinson's departure and consider that the loss of his services to both rich and poor in Leominster and neigh- bourhood will assuredly be very much deplored .
